Description: In this episode of Chewed Up, lifestyle icons Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon are back in the kitchen bringing the heat — and the cheese.This episode centers around a crave-worthy, comfort-food classic with a twist: Portobello Mushroom Parmesan Subs. Instead of chicken, thick, meaty portobello caps are roasted until tender, layered onto hero rolls, smothered in marinara, and blanketed with mozzarella and Parmesan before being broiled to bubbly perfection. It’s hearty, satisfying, and bold enough to convert even the most skeptical meat-lover.Between roasting mushrooms and melting cheese, the trio dive into unfiltered takes on meatless cooking, sandwich superiority debates, and what really makes comfort food comforting. Expect sharp humor, kitchen chaos, strong opinions, and a lot of cheese pulls.Guest: Jackie BukalaInstagram: @chef_jackieb Substack: https://substack.com/@chefjackieb 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes⏱ Timestamps00:00 – Welcome back & kitchen chaos begins02:15 – Why portobello mushrooms are the perfect swap05:40 – Prepping and seasoning the mushrooms09:10 – The great meatless debate13:25 – Building the ultimate parm sub16:45 – Broil magic: achieving peak melt19:30 – First bites & verdict23:00 – Comfort food confessions27:10 – Final thoughts & fan giveaway🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:FreshDirect → Fresh groceries delivered straight to your door.https://www.freshdirect.comFrontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon’s collection featured on the show.https://frontgate.comProduced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/🍽️ About Chewed UpThree lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
